Workflow of Gas Fire Heating Brewhouse
This workflow helps breweries maintain strong batch efficiency, reliable heating performance, and stable beer quality without relying on steam infrastructure.
1. Mashing
- Grains are mashed in the mash tun using controlled heating from gas burners.
2. Lautering
- Wort is separated from spent grains in the lauter tun to maximize extract efficiency.
3. Boiling and Whirlpooling
- The wort is boiled in the kettle, hops are added, and the hot wort is clarified through whirlpooling.
4. Cooling and Fermentation
- The wort is cooled through a heat exchanger and transferred to fermentation tanks.
5. Cleaning
- The CIP system sanitizes vessels and pipelines to prepare for the next batch.
